News and Tidbits

I was going to do a big news update, but since I haven’t done one in a week it was going to be MASSIVE.  So let’s just work with the Google alert e-mails I’ve received just this evening.

First, io9 is sharing details about Ron Moore’s new show, “Virtuality”.  How would you handle going on a long term mission traveling in a cramped space ship?

Second, news we’ve been waiting for ever since we heard Season 4 will be split in the traditional ten episodes–break–ten episodes schedule.  Buddytv, who spoke with Jamie Bamber about the mid-season hiatus, is saying that the show will come back in late 2008 or early 2009.  Honestly, can’t say I’m surprised.

And finally, here’s a list of what the actors sent in as their Emmy submission tapes, courtesy of this website:

Best Actor:
Edward James Olmos - “Sine Qua Non”

Best Actress:
Mary McDonnell - “Faith”

Best Supporting Actor:
Jamie Bamber - “Sine Qua Non”
Michael Hogan - “Sine Qua Non”
James Callis - “He That Believeth in Me”

Best Supporting Actress:
Tricia Helfer - “Guess What’s Coming to Dinner”
Grace Park - “Guess What’s Coming to Dinner”
Katee Sackhoff - “Six of One”

FYI: “Sine Qua Non” is the episode that will air next in the schedule.

My question to you is, do you think the actors made the correct decision in their episode choices?  I think they’re pretty spot on, and it’s making me even more excited to see the next episode.  The only thing that bugs me with this is I think Aaron Douglas should be on this list, and if I had to erase a name to do it, then it would be Mr. Bamber.  We just haven’t seen that much of Lee this season, and the Chief has been through all kinds of stuff so far, and Aaron Douglas has been brilliant with it.  What do you think?
